  • Applications

    2-Benzylheptanol (CAS 92368-90-6) is used primarily in fragrance chemistry as an odorant and a building block for the synthesis of fragrance esters, contributing warm and balsamic notes in perfumery. It is commonly evaluated for cosmetic and personal care applications as a scent component in creams, lotions, and other body care products. In household products, it may serve as a fragrance additive for cleaners and detergents. In industrial manufacturing, it is used as an intermediate to prepare fragrance-related compounds and specialty esters. It may also be employed to formulate fragrance profiles in coatings or inks. Subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
